How did Noah know about the concept of clean and unclean animals?

[tonychanyt]

Just as God instructed Adam and Eve about the garden and the forbidden fruit, He likely instructed them about proper worship and sacrifice, which were passed down to Noah.

Genesis 4:

4 Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

At this point, It was not recorded what was clean or unclean, but Abel knew that firstborns from his flock were acceptable sacrifices. I'd assume that the LORD had communicated the basic definition of clean animals to mankind. The first mention of "clean" is in Genesis 7:

1 The LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate.

Centuries later in Genesis 22:

13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

A ram was a clean animal.

More centuries later, Moses codified the concept in Leviticus 11.

How did Noah know what were clean and unclean animals?

The Bible does not tell us explicitly. My guess is that God told Adam and Eve after the fall, and the knowledge was passed down to those who cared about it.

The concept of oral tradition within the context of Judeo-Christian history extends back to the earliest ancestors, including both Adam and Abraham. Oral tradition played a critical role in passing down stories, laws, and teachings from one generation to the next before these were ever written down.

Key Points on Oral Tradition:​

• Adam: As the first human created by God, according to the Bible, oral traditions would have begun with Adam, encompassing the early stories of creation, the Garden of Eden, and the earliest events of human history.
• Abraham: Considered the patriarch of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths, Abraham's life and covenant with God were passed down orally before being recorded in written texts like the Torah and the Bible.

How did Adam know? And every other man who had not rejected God knew. God told Adam, and Adam told his children. Some obeyed and followed what God told Adam while others did not. While we are on this topic of how did they know... we as believers today has BEST take DEADLY SERIOUSLY what God is saying to Eve BEFORE IT EVER HAPPENS... That he will put EMNITY between HER offspring and his offspring. He then tells her that one of her offspring will CRUSH the snakes head and it will bruise his heel... We all are excited to point out that the OFFSPRING is Christ and that Christ indeed bruised Yeshua's heel. But we completely MISS the whole... HIS OFFSPRING the offspring of Satan... The Nephilim So why is that even important or worth bothering over we won, Christ won GAME OVER... well, there is a slight problem with this line of thinking. It complete ignore the who part in revelation about and he OVERCOMES THE SAINTS part.... we should be asking the WHO is????

Yesuha tells in Matthew 24 (and the other gospel accounts) that his return would be marked by the fact that the world would be JUST LIKE THE DAYS OF NOAH... the immediately the following seems innocuous... they were eating and drinking, giving to marriage and being taken in marriage.... that describes every generation that has lived or ever lived so that causes me to go back and ask the question of why the reference of Noah because to be certain that too was happening the eating, drinking, and marrying and given to marriage. So what gives... what was different? The NEPHILIM is what is different... and rampant evil and violence.

So these beings appear coming down in some gigantic inter galactic space ship that is 5 miles wide and these beings come out and tell that they created us and they can show us their version of 'history' They will be convincing and will lead MANY astray especially when they start doing miracles. Try telling the gospel message to those who are witnessing these events. It wont take long before everyone decided that WE are the problem and WE have to be removed from society

What scripture is that?

JUST LIKE THE DAYS OF NOAH...

Genesis 6:5 states:

> "The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time."

We see a lot of this. I can not believe that websites are starting to allow the filth and debauchery that they are allowing. Even worse they put it out there for children to see.

Why are you shocked and amazed? ITs going to get MUCH worse. Wait until they start rounding up Christian because THEY are the problem. You have even seen the beginnings of wickedness

They already do that in China. People face different trials based on where they live. The Bible does tend to say that we need to take a stand for the truth. The Church age is ending and the Kingdom age is beginning. There are a lot of opinions and speculation as to how we go from one age to the next.

You KNOW I was speaking about the west, just stop that. It doesnt tend to say that we need to take a stand. WE ARE COMMANDED TO PICK UP OUR CROSS... Lots a of word games by those who are not dealing with the issue at YOUR and MY locations... there are a LOT of people who think they are Christian but are NOT.

Getting "saved" isn't like buying an insurance policy. Before the end comes a SHAKING WILL appear to separate the wheat from the chaff. You and I will be forced to consider the cost and MANY will be unable to pay it because their belief is strictly superficial. When they start putting western believers who are largely WEAK and Fleshly they will cave and run. What more proof do you need?? How many believers STOOD during COVID-19 and said NO????? ALMOST NONE. Almost 100% of churches closed. If that doesn't tell you how WEAK the churches in the West are, then you are not paying attention. MANY are called FEW are chosen. Who are the chosen? The ones who actually IMPLEMENTING what Christ taught. Who is growing in the spirit? Who walk by the Spirit because they are constantly seeking God's face.

We are about to find out who is SERIOUS about their walk and who will wilt and fade away because they have no root in them. How can you have root in God if you spend almost NO TIME with him??? How can your MIND Be renewed by the washing of the word if you are NEVER IN THE WORD???????

 

[Diamond72]

MANY are called FEW are chosen. Who are the chosen?

They are the ones willing to be holy and sanctified before God.

NEVER IN THE WORD???????

The word needs to be in us. We are the temple of God.
